Especially I loved reading descriptions of how Kinsey Milhone would clean her home. To me, more satisfying than any other kind of “porn.”

Enough about my reasons, though, Blog-Buddies. I do invite you to share your admiration of this novelist. Plus any other comments, of course. How about help for those of you who are new to energetic literacy, chakra databanks, etc.? Just scroll down to the end of this post.

Here’s the photo I’ll use for solving some of the mysteries of Sue Grafton. Supplementing this delightful interview by Terri Gross.

Exceptionally detail-oriented. Almost as if she’s placing her sensory perception ahead of all else.

Unexpectedly, and sadly, I encounter a sober reality. “Sober” as in joyless. Not on a par with the desiccated reality of an opioid addict. (A type of aura reading I’ll be doing for you’ all later this month. As discussed last month.)

Maybe this is a biochemical heritage from Sue Grafton’s alcoholic parents. Whatever the cause, I find the most ennobling determination. As if everyday life means climbing up high stairs. (The grim part.)

Yet Sue Grafton has trained herself to make an extra effort. Every step of the way she insists on taking one big step after another. Doing what she can to savor being alive. Indeed, that’s the ennobling part.

Nothing like “Be positive.” An attempt that you may know I debunk. Among other ways to help you have a better life. In “The New Strong.” Grafton’s version of reality is far more gritty than most folks have. Human to the core. And intensely powerful.

2. Sue Grafton Aura. Root Chakra Databank for Making Money

Blog-Buddies, I’m curious. Just since the 77-year-old writer earned multi-million literary advances. And did this year after year.

“Money is a trap.” Evidently Sue Grafton has encountered enough slaves to wealth. More than enough. Prompting a definite wariness of those who value money as if it really meant much.

But again and again she would pull herself back. Noting, instead, what she could learn as a novelist.

Seems to me, it became a kind of discipline for Sue Grafton. Time and again, aiming to learn from a specific situation. Teasing apart the annoying parts. Including physical details.

No wonder, despite this struggle, I find no malice. Sue Grafton may have written about murderers and murder suspects. And she may have survived a horrible childhood. Plus a vicious divorce. Yet she categorically refused to become a hater.

4. Sue Grafton Aura. Root Chakra Databank for Verbal Integrity

How could I resist reading this one? Often Kinsey Milhone bragged about being a liar. Supposedly the basis for her ability to spot other liars.

Loss of innocence over spontaneous truth telling: When did that happen. Probably long ago.

For sure, Sue Grafton doesn’t automatically tell the truth. She even enjoys observing the impact of her words. Slightly detached, sometimes curious.

What will happen now that she’s uttered the slightly-shaded truth “XYZ”? Keeps life amusing for her.

Nothing vicious here. More like some family tendencies that she couldn’t escape. (Oh, Sue, I wish I could have facilitated some sessions for you of RES Energy HEALING!)

Stuck as she was, with a broken relationship to veracity… Perhaps Sue Grafton turned that slightly twisty way of noticing truth… to the most creative purposes possible.

You can also learn the system of Aura Reading Through All Your Senses from my book by that name. That how-to contains over 100 practical techniques. Reading auras from photos isnt included, but plenty else is. This how-to provides a comprehensive training thats perfect for beginners.

Reading auras from regular photographs is just a slightly more advanced skill, almost ridiculously easy. Remember, when you have skills at energetic literacy, every photo is an aura photo.

One more idea in response to your excellent question, ANONYMOUSLY ANONYMOUS: At the time of the photo, Sue Grafton had published 26 previous books.

Unlike you or me (or other writers who hang out at this blog), she could have been just a bit jaded by all that success. So that one more high-profile book signing felt more like a nuisance than a thrill.

Kinda like, “Yeah, yeah, Baby #27.” From the mom of a very large family.

So sitting at her table, taking yet one more publicity shot, getting ready to spend the next three hours signing autographs for gushing fans… maybe the author of the Kinsey Milhone mysteries just wasn’t feeling it. Just for a minute.

Sue Grafton was describing how she was similar in some ways to fictional Kinsey Milhone.

Kinsey was orphaned at age five by a car accident.

While Sue had two alcoholic parents. Dad managed to hold down a job. Mom was a stay-at-home person, and not functioning well at all.

Sadly, by the time she was five, the drunks in her family were in such bad shape that Sue Grafton had to pretty much raise herself. She joked, she didn’t do a very good job. But in her defense, her parenting experience was limited….

Thank you Rose! Just out of curiousity, this sentence was interesting:

“Maybe this is a biochemical heritage from Sue Graftons alcoholic parents. Whatever the cause, I find the most ennobling determination. As if everyday life means climbing up high stairs. (The grim part.)”

LILIAN, I was referring to a biological perspective, DNA. There is no such thing, far as I know, as a permanent effect of someone else’s auric modeling. And we really don’t learn it from others, either.

Good that you’re thinking about all these things, though. There is a great deal to think about concerning energetic literacy.
